and maybe never did, I am too controlling, I am jealous, I don't respect her, I don't allow her to speak her mind, I bark at her,.....many things I do wrong, and have done our whole marriage.
Any truth to this?
Only you can say. The stuff that stings as we say here...
You need to look at.
I can relate to a free spirit more than I care to go into and also falling into a parent/child relationship.
That never works. You are husband and wife. Must be that way or at least accept that her choices are hers and not your place to correct her.
Your choice to leave her though. Yours.
First things?
Don't argue. Validate. "I understand your feelings."
And you should really. Not condone them, understand them.
They are hers and she is entitled to them.
What do you feel entitled to right now?
My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
